The octave-forge package is the result of The GNU Octave Repositry project, which is intended to be a central location for custom scripts, functions and extensions for GNU Octave. contains the source for all the functions plus build and install scripts. This is benchmark. The package contains code used to benchmark speed of Octave.

Iorate is a general purpose storage I/O benchmarking tool. Iorate was created in 1997 by Vince Westin of EMC while working with Cliff Burrell of FedEx to fill a need to perform a set of storage I/O benchmarks. Though Iorate was developed by EMC staff with EMC resources there are no EMC-specific pieces to the testing, it just tests storage.

Railsbench is a small collection of ruby scripts which make measuring raw performance of rails apps a snap. All tests are run from the command prompt, making performance regression testing easy.

Sipp is a performance test tool / traffic generator for the SIP protocol. It comes with a few basic SipStone user-agents scenarios (UAC & UAS), i establishing and releasing multiple calls with the INVITE and BYE methods.

The computer program avida is an auto-adaptive genetic system designed primarily for use as a platform in Digital or Artificial Life research. The avida system is based on concepts similar to those employed by the tierra program developed by Tom Ray. It is a population of self-reproducing strings with a Turing-complete genetic basis subjected to Poisson-random mutations. The population adapts to the combination of an intrinsic fitness landscape (self-reproduction) and an externally imposed (extrinsic) fitness function provided by the researcher. By studying this system, one can examine evolutionary adaptation, general traits of living systems (such as self-organization), and other issues pertaining to theoretical or evolutionary biology and dynamic systems.

BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed.

The bedtools utilities are a suite of tools for performing a wide range of genomics analysis tasks. The most widely-used of these tools enable genome arithmetic, i.e., set theory on the genome. For example, with bedtools one can intersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in common genomic formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, and VCF. Although each individual utility is designed to do a relatively simple task, e.g., intersect two interval files, more sophisticated analyses can be conducted by stringing together multiple bedtools operations on the command line or in shell scripts.

The BioCocoa framework provides developers with the opportunity to add support for reading and writing BEAST, Clustal, EMBL, Fasta, GCG-MSF, GDE, Hennig86, NCBI, NEXUS, NONA, PDB, Phylip, PIR, Plain/Raw, Swiss-Prot and TNT files by writing only three lines of code. The framework is written in Cocoa (Objective-C). LICENSE: LGPL2 or later

The BioJava Project is an open-source project dedicated to providing Java tools for processing biological data. This will include objects for manipulating sequences, file parsers, CORBA interoperability, access to ACeDB, dynamic programming, and simple statistical routines. The BioJava library is useful for automating those daily and mundane bioinformatics tasks. As the library matures, the BioJava libraries will provide a foundation upon which both free software and commercial packages can be developed.

ClustalW2 is a general purpose multiple sequence alignment program for DNA or proteins. It produces biologically meaningful multiple sequence alignments of divergent sequences. It calculates the best match for the selected sequences, and lines them up so that the identities, similarities and differences can be seen. Evolutionary relationships can be seen via viewing Cladograms or Phylograms.
